The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) proposes
to design, construct, and place into operation an Ultraviolet Light (UV)
Disinfection Facility (“UV Facility”) for the Catskill/Delaware
Water Supply System. The project is being proposed to meet the water
supply needs of the City of New York (City) and lower Westchester County
and to comply with state and federal drinking water standards. The introduction
of this additional disinfection “barrier” would significantly
enhance the City’s water supply protection program. The UV Facility
would be constructed on City-owned property at Eastview within the Towns
of Mount Pleasant and Greenburgh, in Westchester County, New York.

The NYCDEP intends to hold a public hearing to receive public comments
on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS) for the proposed
UV Facility project. The Draft EIS was released publicly on May 31, 2004
and is available for review at repositories in all involved localities
and on CD-ROM, upon written request. The Draft EIS Notice of Completion
with Executive Summary may be reviewed on the NYCDEP website at http://www.nyc.gov/dep.

The public hearing scheduled for September 20, 2004 has been rescheduled as
follows:

Wednesday, September 22, 2004 7:00 PM Town Hall of Mount Pleasant (Court Room) One Town Hall Plaza Valhalla, New York

Additional information regarding the meeting, the locations of the
eight repositories (which contain the Draft EIS and other related documents
for public review) are listed on the NYCDEP website. To obtain a CD-ROM
of the Draft EIS write to the contact person presented below.

The public comment period will remain open until October 4, 2004. Written
comments should be addressed to: Mark Page, Jr., EIS Project Manager,
Office of Environmental Planning and Assessment, 11th Floor, New York
City Department of Environmental Protection, 59-17 Junction Boulevard,
Flushing, New York, 11373.
